May be hard with unpredictable timing of a layoff, but I’d recommend folks look into Recurse Center: https://www.recurse.com/

After closing down my last startup I did it. It was a great balance of community providing some baseline structure to my days while being mostly unstructured allowing me to explore interests for fun.

And at the end they help a lot with getting a job. If you can pull it off financially/with timing, I highly recommend the experience.
